MSc - STRATEGY & INNOVATION

The MSc in Strategy and Innovation is ideal for those who are interested in developing the skills needed to identify and solve operational and strategic problems that real organisations face. Stu-dents develop a blend of individual competencies necessary to be successful managers, including teamwork, communication, and leadership skills, coupled with organisational level insights into how firms can design strategies and innovate to deliver value for customers. It is suited to both recent graduates interested in developing a graduate management career and experienced managers and entrepreneurs interested in developing the skills and capabilities necessary to develop and implement strategic initiatives and lead organisations.

If you are a recent graduate seeking to build a career in management; mid-career specialist looking to move into management; or a senior manager wondering how to build effective, efficient, and innovative solutions for the operational and strategic problems of your organisation; then this is the master’s degree for you.

Managers face a constant tension between managing the operational challenges of today and ensuring that they can lead their organisation to success in the longer term. How do you lead people? How can you find the resources needed to build a more successful organisation? How do you choose to focus your team’s energies between competing opportunities and challenges? The MSc in Strategy and Innovation provides you with the knowledge and skills necessary to identify and solve operational and strategic problems that real organisations face. Successful managers need to be able to analyse problems, make decisions, work in and lead teams, communicate solutions, and find innovative and effective ways to translate strategies into action. Our approach to learning is to blend the development of advanced specialist knowledge and capabilities with practical application. Our programme is focused on your career success. We develop skills that you need to be an effective manager.
